Other than your orig TPG, shipping and insurance fees...Great Collection has zero seller fees for coins that sell for 1K or more...
I may be missing something here...but I think this might be your best bet...?
You could also send to Rick Snow and have him submit on your behalf and have it Eagle Eye stickered after he rec'v it back from PCGS and pay the fees to him for submitting...? Probably take about 3 months and $200 in total...Pretty sure a Snow stamp/sticker of approval could only increase it's value...

Get in touch with the expert...he's a great guy...easy to talk to...and he might even make you an offer you can't refuse...? ; )
Let us know what you decide.
Congrats on the dilemma!
Love stories like this!

Might consider consigning it to Rick Snow. Think he charges 10%, but he will get the most for it.

Greatcollections would be the best auction house, but people bid a little less than book, knowing there is a premium. It all comes out to about the same.

If it were me, I would let Rick sell it.

And I can't argue with RedRaider...
He has more dealings with Rick then I have and has quite the impressive collection of V&E's along w/patterns that will make your head spin...
He knows his stuff!

That's a huge coin. To cherry-pick my example I had to spend $350+ and it's a G details, beat and environmentally damaged but still brought hundreds at auction.raw. Less than 120 of these I've counted to exist, and trust me there's very few to cherry-pick anymore. I've tried! Huge congratulations!
